The "OMG the price is high on Ebay, etc!!!" thread

[digitalbabe]

So, we have the "Fake" and "Steelbook Price Drop" thread, but we don't yet have the thread where you post listings with "crazy" prices for Steelbooks. If you see any, post them here and have fun debating. As per forum rules, please remain respectful with each other-one person's "high price", could be another's "deal of a lifetime" score. Enjoy!

Please keep discussion to Ebay and other retailers, not private sellers.

Someone selling 3 copies of Oz the great and powerful for $120.

I think that's someone on here.....

probably, many members here know there's more money to be made on quality releases rather than the Zaavi junk...

Is this a fair price or rather expensive for a FWMC steel??

As it's got the booklet I'd say it's cheap. I've seen some go for much more.

the last one with booklet new/ sealed i have seen on ebay.de has been sold for 91€ 2 or 3 weeks ago. i thought this was a bargain for this beauty but the price from your auction is still okay IMO

Not really an mg: but doesn't seem to be telling the right info

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BNFS-Hobbit...?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item1c35f2b3fb

"Detailed description: Listing for brand new and sealed The Hobbit 3D Singapore Blu Ray steelbook. Comes with a 68 page book attached to the back of the steelbook. It is rumoured that only 100 copies of these were produced, so extremely rare. Other item on ebay is for sale for nearly £500 (161034786585). This is exactly the same just without the outer slipcover. However you will get a Hobbit "key" with it which the other auction does not contain (only very limited numbers came with this key!)."

The rare ones are the ones with slips right that came from Alex?

Yes, Alex's slip ones are limited to 100 each one and were only available through his GB. I was one of the lucky ones that got the key with it, which I believe he only had 10 of

That is a bad auction, seller lost out. Buyer got a good deal.

Let this be a lesson to all. ALWAYS start your auction at $0.01, and not $19.99. It matters. And yes, always get the FS version if possible. If rarity is your thing.

You'd expect free shipping at least for that price

 

[RajLondon]

That's definitely not a typo.

You'd have a rush of buyers if the price was $160.

 

[sunnyx]

The seller listed this previous for $2400 so $1600 is definately the asking price.
